EPIC LAGER ... COMING SOON
Thursday, January 31, 2008 at 8:13PM 
Yes there have been rumblings about the new Epic Lager, so I thought I would put some facts out there to satisfy the thirst for more information.
The new Epic Lager has just finished fermenting, and is now on cooling in the tank.
We are looking at a keg release date of the 23rd February, with it's official unveiling at the New Zealand Beer Festival in Ellerslie, Auckland.
Release in bottles is still dependent on the smooth arrival of all the packaging, which is still to be confirmed. But it won't be too long after the 23rd.
A bit about it - malt used is German Pilsner malt, US grown aroma hops. It has the equivalent of 6 hops per bottle (so not as big as the Pale Ale with 15 hops per bottle) but noticeable and worthy of the name Epic Lager. 5.0% alc/vol
So as you would expect I'm very excited about getting it into the bottle and out to the world.
If you are a Pale Ale drinker it probably won't have the hop hit you are use to, but you will now have a beer to share with your friends that are scared of hops and flavour. You can call it a stepping stone, it is about the middle between "mainstream premium lagers" and Epic Pale Ale.
Cheers

Sounds awesome mate.
I was actually thinking the other day that it would be awesome if Epic brewed a lager or wheat.
I can vouch for it being fantastic. Grabbed a six-pack on Friday and went back for another on Saturday.
